Friday breakfast networking in Exeter
We're local business owners who meet every Friday morning for tea, coffee, breakfast, a catch-up and plenty of laughs. No referral targets, no hard sell. Just people who know each other well enough to send work each other's way.
First two visits free!

Why people stay
There's one accountant, one solicitor, one electrician. Nobody's competing for the same clients, and when a member needs a solicitor, they know exactly who to ask.
There are no targets and no league tables. Work comes from knowing and trusting each other, and that takes a few breakfasts, not a spreadsheet.
There's no franchise and nobody's making a profit. The committee are members who give up a bit of their time, and the fees cover breakfast, room hire and running costs.
Running a business can be lonely. On a Friday you've got a table full of people who've been there, whether it's a tricky client, a hiring headache or a VAT question.
A Friday morning
Tea, coffee and informal chats as people arrive
Club news, then 60 seconds each: who you are, what you do and your answer to the question of the week
Breakfast, cooked or continental
A guest speaker, a member's talk or a group discussion
Off to work, maybe with a new lead, maybe with a problem solved or something new learnt

Our charity
Each year the members pick a local charity to back. For 2026/27 it's ELF, the Exeter Leukaemia Fund, which supports families affected by blood cancer at the RD&E. ELF joins us on Fridays, and our charity quiz in February raises money for their work.
